Hi,
We're having a family gathering at a cottage in Fownhope for a week over Easter. Thought I'd chuck the bike in and try to grab a few hours riding.
Ideally want to ride from the door rather than drive somewhere (otherwise I'd probably just head for FoD), anyone know the area & can give me a few pointers?
Cheers in advance.
I think there's some riding in Haugh Wood though I don't know the specifics, sorry. Plenty if you head over our way, or down to Abergavenny, both a little closer than FoD but probably still involve a short drive. If I was heading there and wanting to ride from the doorstep I'd probably take the road bike, but loads of good MTBing within a short distance.
What day? I'm local and happy to show you around if I'm free. Can't do Saturday definately.
squealer, thanks for the offer but doubt it will be planned, more a case of grabbing some time when the opportunity arises.
The whole area N/NE looks promising - Haugh Wood and beyond. Whaddaya reckon?
There's a lot in Haugh woods, but don't think there's anything sign posted, and some may be cheeky....
Best bet is find a local to guide you, just explore, or maybe try and get some gpx files, search Haugh woods on here, there have been similar threads in the past.
FoD is only about 1/2 hour from Fownhope though.....
Loads in Haugh Wood and West Woods. It's all cheeky, shhhhhhhhh.
